Manual Therapy

We understand that manual therapy enhances the physical therapy treatment sessions. Providing manual therapy prior to an exercise can promote increased ROM for a more stable movement.

Our outcome studies show better results when physical therapists use a well-rounded approach to a therapy session. These approaches include a variety of tools at the therapist's disposal including MANUAL THERAPY, modalities, therapeutic exercise, neuromuscular re-education.

Initial evaluation and treatment are normally scheduled in less than 48 hours. Our internal assessments show if treatment begins within the first 10 days after injury or sooner if surgery is involved, there is less time lost from work, function improves faster, and people report less pain. Therapeutic intervention promotes functional independence and can often prevent an individual's re-entry into the healthcare system.

Physical Therapists are specially trained in anatomy and physiology and are experts in understanding how movement, posture and function affect wellness. The term Manual Therapy refers to hands-on treatment of muscles, tendons, ligaments, and joints. Manual Therapy is the cornerstone of our treatment philosophy.
